Strongly identify with dominant culture and also their ethnic culture. More dominant + less ethnic = assimilated. No longer connect with the cultural elements, only with dominant culture. Less dominant + more ethnic = separated. Don"t connect to more dominant elements, only with original culture. Not connected with either, feel left out.
